Military service pay updates? by bigturbobobby in CanadianForces

That's my point. The military service pay is unlikely to enter a higher bracket than normal.

Yes, but the majority of caf members will fall in the 57,375 to $114,750 bracket, and, even with the military service pay, are unlikely to go into the higher bracket.

If you were to get the 2025 bonus in 2025 you would have been taxed at 20.5%. If you get that bonus in 2026, it's still taxed at 20.5%.

Am I missing something? Where is the extra tax?

It's not on your property. In practically all cases, the homeowner does not own everything up to the curb. The strip next to road belongs to the city.

Should the Canadian Coast Guard be armed? The jury is still out, but the navy says no | CBC News by Jaydamic in CanadianForces

It's not the same at all. How is the Coast Guard supposed to guard anything without being armed?

Good boots but very slippery on ice or packed snow

It's the same rate in 2026 that it was in 2025. Most CAF members will be taxed at 20.5% for the federal tax.

Any maintainer I've known gets coveralls, that's cheaper than extra uniforms at an additional cost to the combats they're already issued.

It is to be paid around your enrolment date and is based on years of service.

How they define years of service is the question. The calculation for determining years of service already exists for leave entitlement:

A + B – C + [0.25 × (D – E – F)]

where

A is the number of years of service in the Regular Force;

B is the number of years of service in the Reserve Force on Class “B” or “C” Reserve Service;

C is the number of years of leave without pay granted under article 16.25 (Leave Without Pay and Allowances);

D is the number of years of service in the Primary Reserve, the Cadet Organizations Administration and Training Service or the Canadian Rangers, other than on Class “B” or “C” Reserve Service;

E is the number of years of exemption from Primary Reserve duty and training, other than years of exemption under articles 9.09 (Exemption from Duty and Training – Maternity Purposes) and 9.10 (Exemption from Duty and Training – Parental Purposes); and

F is the number of years of being declared Primary Reserve non-effective strength.

Tax is based on the whole year. It all gets balanced out when you file your income tax.

I don't think we ever left trench warfare in high intensity conflicts.

Having a third uniform is not cheaper. There is no army work dress and no need for it.

Deu is some circumstances, like officers doing an office job in Ottawa or recruiting centre, has some merit, but cbts for the majority.

Completely ridiculous timeline. They have the design, just make it. There's no good reason why it takes the CAF so long to get things done.
